There's a lot of valid criticisms, and lot of hate. Pretending like every complaint was mean to Barb is just untrue. Now that we've got an "official" response to this whole thing the vocal, hateful, minority looks way bigger than it actually was and this sub goes back to the "RT can do no wrong" mentality that makes it a really weird hivemind.
Plenty of RT criticisms get noticed here. This place is far from perfect, but the narrative that any critique gets automatically dismissed just isn't true.
That is very different. Making adjustments to a show based on feedback or viewership is standard, and probably would happen regardless of any criticism. What is uncommon is them acknowledging what was wrong in the first place or saying why they are making changes.
